Versatile Sword Cultivator

Chapter 165 – Exotic Beast Azure Phoenix

Seeing the clothes beside the bathtub, Lin Jichen, driven by curiosity, picked them up.

Upon closer inspection, he realized they were the clothes Leng Feiyan had worn during their sparring session earlier.

He intended to put them back, but then he noticed something inside—a purple... undergarment!

Almost as if possessed, Lin Jichen pulled out the purple undergarment, and a faint fragrance wafted into his nose.

Gulp.

Lin Jichen stared at the purple undergarment, his hand trembling as he touched it.

The fabric was silky, still carrying a bit of warmth.

Where does an undergarment cover? Wasn't it exactly the spot he had accidentally touched before...

Lin Jichen began to imagine how Leng Feiyan would look wearing this undergarment. Just the thought made his nose feel like it was about to bleed!

"Ah!!! You lecherous disciple!"

At that moment, Leng Feiyan, who had remembered she left her clothes by the bathtub, returned.

She arrived just in time to see Lin Jichen holding and touching her undergarment in a perverted manner.

Leng Feiyan was utterly mortified, her face turning as red as the evening sky.

She snatched the clothes from Lin Jichen's hand like lightning, glaring at him fiercely before giving him a hard knock on the head.

"Ouch!"

Lin Jichen cried out in pain, falling into the water and swallowing a mouthful of Tianshan Spirit Water...

Leng Feiyan couldn't bear to look. Wasn't he drinking her bathwater?

Ah!

Leng Feiyan felt like she was going crazy and quickly fled.

As Lin Jichen emerged from the water, he heard a dreadful notification.

[Ding! Due to your lecherous behavior, Leng Feiyan now thinks you're a pervert. Affection Level -10! Current Affection Level: 40 points]

Lin Jichen: "...."

Snowflakes drifted, and the north wind howled...

Lin Jichen's heart felt as cold as ice, filled with regret.

He slapped himself. Why did he have to be so impulsive!

The Affection Level he had painstakingly raised had dropped by ten points in an instant.

Lin Jichen wanted to cry but had no tears. Previously, he could claim that touching her chest was accidental, and Leng Feiyan could barely believe it.

This time, no matter how much he explained, Leng Feiyan wouldn't believe him.

Sigh, he could only blame his thirty-something years of being a virgin. Seeing such a thing, he couldn't control himself.

Lin Jichen dared not act recklessly again. He quickly finished his bath, changed his clothes, and walked out anxiously.

Leng Feiyan was sitting outside. Seeing him come out, her anger flared up again.

Lin Jichen quickly said, "Master, if I told you I did it out of curiosity, would you believe me..."

"Hmph! Do you think I would believe that?" Leng Feiyan sneered, her face still flushed.

Lin Jichen's head drooped, and he said weakly, "I don't think Master would believe it."

Leng Feiyan bit her red lip, both ashamed and angry, "I never thought you were this kind of person. You... you... have truly disappointed me!"

Lin Jichen said miserably, "I've never seen such a thing before, so I picked it up to take a look..."

"This matter ends here. If it happens again, I won't forgive you. Understand?" Leng Feiyan warned.

Lin Jichen breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had 50 points of Affection Level before. Otherwise, seeing such a lewd scene, Leng Feiyan would have deducted more than 10 points.

"I will remember today's lesson and never dare to do it again!" Lin Jichen promised repeatedly.

Next time? Next time, when the Affection Level is higher, he can take a closer look!

"Good, as long as you know your mistake." Leng Feiyan's expression softened, finally letting the matter rest.

"Then... shall we depart, Master?" Lin Jichen asked cautiously.

He was a bit unsure if his master would still go on a date with him after this incident.

Fortunately, he was overthinking.

"Yes, it's getting late. Let's go early and return early."

With that, Leng Feiyan waved her sleeve, and both she and Lin Jichen disappeared from the Tianyan Sword Sect.

They didn't use the teleportation array because Everwinter City was a small town in the northern desert without one.

Many special small towns also lacked teleportation arrays, requiring players to find their way there.

High in the sky, Leng Feiyan waved her jade-like hand.

A massive bird beast suddenly appeared, startling Lin Jichen.

The bird beast was enormous yet elegantly shaped, with magnificent blue feathers.

Its tail had several long feathers trailing behind, burning with azure flames.

These flames seemed innate.

The bird spread its wings and let out a loud cry, exuding the aura of a king among birds.

Lin Jichen took a closer look and was shocked to confirm that this bird was an exotic beast, a Azure Phoenix!

This was a creature extremely close to a divine beast.

Among birds, it was on the same level as the Rosefinch, Flame Crow, Gu Huo , and the Three-legged Golden Crow.

Only slightly inferior to the divine beast Phoenix.

Seeing this Azure Phoenix, Lin Jichen was dumbfounded.

This Azure Phoenix had the strength of the Enlightenment Realm!

And it seemed to be Leng Feiyan's mount.

As soon as it appeared, it obediently crouched at Leng Feiyan's feet. Leng Feiyan petted its feathers affectionately.

The Azure Phoenix looked as if it had eaten a celestial fruit, overjoyed.

Leng Feiyan mounted the Azure Phoenix and then moved Lin Jichen over.

The Azure Phoenix seemed to dislike this stranger, but with Leng Feiyan present, it had no choice but to carry him.

"Azure Phoenix, fly north," Leng Feiyan commanded.

The Azure Phoenix obeyed, letting out a cry and spreading its wings, flying north.

Its speed was astonishing, like a bolt of lightning, traversing the clouds. Within a few breaths, they had left the Tianyan Sword Sect hundreds of miles behind.

Despite the speed, Lin Jichen felt no discomfort, nor was he blown away by the wind.

A semi-transparent barrier surrounded the Azure Phoenix, shielding them from all the wind.

Sitting on it felt like riding a high-speed train, with no sense of shaking, and the speed was a hundred times faster.

"Master, is this your pet?" Lin Jichen couldn't help but ask.

"Yes," Leng Feiyan nodded, "Three hundred years ago, I saved this Azure Phoenix in the Crimson Abyss. It was originally a pair, but the male was killed by an exotic beast, a Ba Snake, in its early metamorphosis. I avenged it by slaying the Ba Snake, and the female Azure Phoenix pledged its loyalty to me. I named it Qingzhi."

Lin Jichen's heart raced.

An exotic beast in its early metamorphosis was casually slain by Leng Feiyan three hundred years ago...

He wondered if there was anyone in the Tale of Immortal who could defeat her if she fought with all her might.

Suddenly, Lin Jichen thought of something and asked, "Master, can you defeat the Illuminating Dragon?"

Leng Feiyan shook her head, "The Illuminating Dragon is the most terrifying exotic beast in the Tale of Immortal, with strength in the Immortalization Realm. Only if all the top experts in the Tale of Immortal gathered could they possibly deal with it. Or, if I reach the Immortalization Realm, I could fight it."

Lin Jichen was speechless. The Illuminating Dragon was indeed the top boss in the Tale of Immortal. Avenging himself would be a long and arduous journey.

They didn't chat for long before the Azure Phoenix flew over an ice-covered city.

Below was a small town almost buried in snow.

Lin Jichen recognized it as Everwinter City.
